HandiWorld HRACK HandiRack Universal Car Roof Rack; Quick Fit Heavy-duty Roof Bars; Black, H10, W33, D146cm

This product is fantastic. What an extremely clever and inexpensive solution to the problem of fitting a roof rack.So far today, we have used it to transfer a ladder and s laid of 4 metre long skirting boards. No problem whatsoever.It's easy to fit to your car, solid and, so far, totally reliable.

Quality item.Put a triple extension ladder and a roof ladder on the roof of my little van for a one off job.Easy to fit, secure, and good straps included.Did wick some water through the straps into van through the straps, but it was chucking it down at the time, but forgivable for the ease of use.If you only need roof bars once in a while this is a great option.I'll be using it for boards and lenghts of timber going forward.

These handibars are very good if:- You don't travel in the heavy rain (read below)- You don't want the expense or limitations of a car specific physical bars- You only intend to carry a ladder, roof bag, or kayak.Size was perfect for our Mk7 Ford Fiesta but would suit smaller or bigger vehicles too.They have a clean fuss free look once fitted. The straps run through your doors and up and over front and back.Benefits are:1 - You don't have the difficulty of fitting car-specific physical bars (so totally tool free).2 - super easy to fit (solo job)3 - fold up and easy to storeDownsides are:1 - if you're tall the straps will interact with your head throughout the journey.2 - if you travel in wet conditions they will bring water into the car.3 - increases road noise.A note on wet ingress:We purchased the "wet weather kit" from the handiwork website, it's not available on Amazon. It's only £12 and is essentially a set of sponges that slot between the straps and the doors water seal.These do a great jobs in light-medium rain and short spell of heavy rain.We drove thru a storm for 8+ hours of heavy rain and we got heavy water ingress. We overcame this with towels wrap on the straps at all four entry points. We had to stop and swap the towels at around the 4-5 hour mark.So you'd be fine to take them in the wet so long as you're prepared and I'd definitely recommend the wet weather kit.

We had to transport a heavy antique table from London to the Lake District. The journey would take over 5 hours of motorway driving. We were simply amazed that this simple, easy to install (and now easy to store) rack did the job in finest fashion. A very impressive and massively handy and practical project. Some water leakage around the straps due to showers on the journey. We’d read this in reviews prior to purchasing so wrapped towels at the entry points and it did the job. Can’t say how pleased we were with this fantastic product.

Worked great with the hold all on my little fiesta. Straps did end up letting some water into the car when it was raining, but we knew that would happen. Felt secure for a long journey

Bought this roof rack for our surf board to replace the old one from two years ago (different brand) which was very nicely scratching our car roof.This one has large wide pads that you lay across the roof (clean the roof first and you will NOT scratch the car at all) and the tie up within the inside of the car. The video makes it look so easy, because it is. Once tied onto the car, you blow it up using the pump supplied, now this pump and the nozzle could be a little better, but it does do the job and not worth taking the review down to one star.Once all sections are fully pumped up, you place the item, in our case a surf board, on the rack and using the additional straps, tie it on. This is a real good tight fit and unlike lots of other brands, you do not get any vibration noises inside the car if done properly.Just check the air bags are pumped every couple of days as we pumped ours up once more after 4 days, just a little but fully expected.Highley recommend this product and wish it was around two years ago.

It's ok and very quick and easy to install

The product was fine, and it worked well although I was a bit unsure due to the noise as the straps vibrated causing a droning sound inside the car when you were up to speed.Bought to put a roof box on as our car was gutterless and looked to be a good idea at a good price.The downfall was when it rained. Set up the night before we left, following the instructions and folding up the flaps just incase. I'd read the low starred reviews and seen that the car headlining could get wet.Next morning, went into the car to find the headlining ok, but the seats were wet. The strapping gets wet, the water then works it's way along it then falls on to the seats.Not a door seal issue, a product material issue.Handy product if you don't get rain, unfortunately we had to return ours.
